"Do you know?" The Doctor gently shook the test tube in herhand, her eyes filled with fervor: "Just this small amount of bodily fluid can sustain the full operation of the Jade Chamber for a month. According to my estimation, this is less than one ten-thousandth of the energy within her body."
"It's truly remarkable," Lucas approached the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, looking at her still haughty expression, and smiled: "If we can uncover all your secrets, perhaps we can control this power."
"You will never understand," the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles said coldly: "Mere humans, yet you dare to aspire to comprehend the heavenly principles, it's nothing but a fool's dream!"
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles clenched her teeth, glaring fiercely at the two humans before her, whom she had always regarded as ants.
If looks could kill, Lucas and the Doctor would have been torn to pieces long ago.
"Just like when we studied your weaknesses before, I have thought of many methods to uncover the secrets of your body," Lucas said expressionlessly: "However, this time, I don't need to draw lots. Thanks to your indestructible body, I have many opportunities to conduct experiments repeatedly."
"Hmph, you know it's only 'many' opportunities, not 'infinite' opportunities," the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles sneered: "In your limited lifespan, how far can you go?"
"When I die, my children will continue, and when they die, their children will carry on. Generation after generation, they will inherit my legacy," Lucas smiled: "Eternal life only leads to stagnation. The evolution of life comes through the reproduction of genes."
"I've heard this story before, it's a legend from your Liyue, called 'The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains'," the Doctor laughed: "However, I have reservations about the theory of genetic evolution. I doubt whether my descendants would inherit my wisdom and talent."
"Doctor, why don't you take a rest first," Lucas said lightly: "I will continue with the next experiment."
"You're actually going to do it yourself? This is a rare opportunity," the Doctor seemed quite expectant: "Don't you want your master to observe from the side?"
Although the Doctor claimed to be Lucas's master, she knew well that after all these years of growth, her "disciple" had long surpassed her.
However, the many shining qualities of the Tian kui Star had overshadowed his achievements in biological research and medical skills.
"The next experiment may not be suitable for observation," Lucas shook his head: "Besides, you haven't slept for at least thirty hours. If you were to die suddenly, I alone... couldn't complete the following research."
Lucas and the Doctor were the only two at the pinnacle of life sciences in the current Teyvat continent, and the last hope to uncover the secrets of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles. Even the experts from the Sumeru Akademiya could not compare.
"I'll take this as your way of caring for me," the Doctor stretched lazily: "Remember to organize the research report for me."
After the Doctor left, the atmosphere in the laboratory became somewhat awkward again.
Lucas looked up and down at the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, making her feel uneasy, but she still pretended to be calm: "Whatever methods of torture you have, just go ahead. It won't mean anything anyway."
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you in this regard," Lucas took out a pair of glasses from somewhere, lightly tapped the edge, and many parameters and options immediately appeared on the lenses. He squinted and said: "Since we just talked about the continuation of genes, let's start researching from that aspect."
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles showed a puzzled expression, murmuring: "What... do you mean?"
"Simply put, it's to study whether there is reproductive isolation between you and humans," Lucas said as if it were a very ordinary matter: "If we can use your genetic material for reproduction, perhaps we can create life forms capable of resisting the heavenly principles."
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles frowned, seeming somewhat confused.
"To put it more simply," Lucas said lightly: "I want you to have a child."
"Outrageous!" The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles finally reacted, her face pale: "This is blasphemy! Blasphemy without limits!"
"Humans, when pushed to the brink, are capable of anything," Lucas adjusted his glasses, the reflection on the lenses obscuring his eyes: "Although I would prefer to observe the embryonic development process through in vitro cultivation, for the first time, let's do it the normal way."
"You... don't come any closer!" For the first time, a trace of fear of the unknown appeared in the eyes of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
Half an hour later.
Lucas wiped the sweat from his forehead, a complex expression on his face, murmuring: "It's completely sealed off. Such a physique is extremely rare even among humans."
Indeed, Lucas had failed.
Not because he was incapable, nor because he had chosen the wrong approach, but because the door had been shut.
No, it wasn't just shut; it was as if it had been welded shut, with a sign saying "No Entry" hanging on it.
This was understandable. As the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, she had no need to reproduce, so the unnecessary organs naturally didn't exist.
"It's useless," the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles sneered: "Even in this state, I won't be so easily defiled by you. As long as I am unwilling, you will never break through this barrier!"
"So..." Lucas seemed to have found a key point, saying seriously: "Is it controlled by your subjective consciousness?"
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles did not answer, which seemed to be a tacit acknowledgment.
"If it's a locked door, the only way is to have the person inside open it voluntarily," Lucas stroked his chin: "Right, why not try 'that move'."
"That move?" The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles frowned slightly.
"Its name is," Lucas said word by word: "High-Speed Vacuum Suction."
How to open a tightly locked door?
Naturally, by having the person inside open it voluntarily.
The "forbidden curse" on the body of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles prevented her from being defiled, but under the immense stimulation of the High-Speed Vacuum Suction, this curse was mercilessly broken.
